I really like the idea of this phone, but:
1) No water resistance rating
2) No 3.5mm audio jack
3) No microSD card slot
4) No wireless charging (materials may be responsible for this)
I just don't see how you try to break into this market at a flagship price and not offer the above.
I don't consider any of the above to be a deal breaker. But there are established competitors that are offering similar priced phones with one or more of the above features. I just don't see the differentiator for this phone that would make me pick it from its competitors.
For me, the biggest hang-up is the water resistance. I don't see how you tout the resilience of new materials without making the phone water resistant.
With that said, I hope they make it.
